Hi, I am a 75 yr old guy living near Sheffield, England, who, until 2 weeks ago, had never heard of Conti Guitars. I have played in bands, but Covid put a stop to that. I went to my local music store, who I've dealt with for years, and are very helpful, and very honest. They pointed me towards a Con...

I received my Conti Guitar the day before yesterday. I had to break away to write this because I'm having a hard time putting it down. The guitar is as advertised and much, much more. I was a little hesitant about buying a guitar sight unseen, but Mike was very helpful and took the time to answer al...

The guitar arrived yesterday, a day early. It is very beautiful and completely conforms to the description. It is properly adjusted and very easy to play. I knew that the Conti Guitar was manufactured by Peerless and I decided to buy without having seen or tried the instrument. I'm not disappointed ...

I was presented this custom built Robert Conti Archtop jazz guitar. I played it the first set and the tone and feel is incredible. The guitars are amazing instruments and are all they should be and more than expected. The neck is like no other, and I mean that coming from a Gibson/Fender man. A mu...

Over the years, I have come to rely on my own ability to set up my guitars without consulting the "Pros". After pulling my new Equity out of the box and picking through a few tunes, out of habit, I grabbed the toolbox. After about 10 minutes and a few delicate tweaks of the bridge and truss rod, thi...

All I can say is "Oh my God," just a tweak on the tuning and it was ready to hit the stage right out of the packaging. This is an amazing instrument, what else can be said about a guitar that looks, plays and feels like a handcrafted custom costing 5 times as much. It plays like velvet but yet has...

It took 5 days from USA to North Norway. Good service. The school and students are also impressed by the in...

Case closed, this is the guitar of the future. The appointments far exceed all my expectations and make all of my studies pertaining to jazz guitar a monumental pleasure. Many bell-like tones, bone nut, perfect neck, solid woods. All my other guitars are now on probation. Once you get your hands on ...

My first impression of the guitar was WOW! It is truly beautiful and it plays like a dream. Smooth and sweet. The tone is gorgeous through both the Fender Princeton and the Johnson Millennium. I love it through the Roland 120 setting on the Johnson. But I am just using the Fender for practicing. It ...

I've played the Conti Guitar in a big band setting (18 piece) playing 40's swing and in a sextet. I really liked it for the longer gig because of its light weight; it didn't dig into my neck after hours of playing. It is very comfortable. I like the feel of the neck and it is an attractive instru...
